Whoops it skipped a step lol...




need to clean this mess.

Man let me tell you about this A_HOLE MITCH. He got my motor to me with everything done, I mean damn no issues, no hang ups, no miss information, what a complete ahole lol..... On a real note, I have nothing but great things to say about my experience with Mitch At ep racing.

I've search the threads about him, half of which is deleted or one sided and choose to instead going with others opinions based on another's words, to go to his shop my self before he touched my block...

The man is an artist plain and simple. He is meticulous about his work and takes pride in his product. Unlike my last shop experience with Prime speed. I received updates weekly on where my block was in the process, I didn't have to bagger him to keep me informed.

Either way I wished I had went with mitch from the start of my last build. It would have saved me a lot of money had I.

On to the good stuff. I made it back from AZ ready to get down to business. Laid all my parts out for the build and started a list of what I need for the most part. Want this all done right the first time.





More up todate pick of the car> last time with these wheel. Sold my 19s today and picked up a set of Enkei NT-03s in 18x10.5 et 30 all around.

Well that's all for now folks. Will have the oil pump and pick up on with new pan soon and then shipped back home. Really looking forward to this build. Thus far from the ground up I've received nothing but help from EP. He Has kept me updated with pics and info and has done a better job of that then the last two shops I dealt with.

[properstyle]

Well I finally picked up a slicktop to have fun with. As some of you know I spun a rode bearing in my red twin turbo due to oil lost from improper built short block from the last shop. So it's time to start it fresh and get it all done right.

Thus far I have installed Power Trix Ultra Light Racing Coilovers with swift springs in a 8/8K spring rate, SPL Rear Camber arms, and Jspec tails. Car did not have AC so I removed my old lines from a Twin turbo before selling it and installing a replacement AC Evap system thanks to Scott.(RB26Z32). Car will need a paint job but overall a very clean shell and at a great price. can you say 800bucks for a Slicktop 93 with no wrecks!!! Very happen to start on this build, I will miss my T-Top days but then again I'll have a AC.


Pics of the motor damage that was found upon tear down. Aside from improper torqued head studs (pulled them all out with my fingers no tools).
